itamae-kitchen/itamae

Itamae is a lightweight configuration management tool that uses a Chef-like DSL to define and enforce system state through a comprehensive set of infrastructure resources. It supports local execution and remote management via SSH and Docker backends, allowing users to manage files, packages, services, and users across different environments. The system includes a pluggable handler architecture for logging events and provides scaffolding tools to generate recipes and cookbooks.

4 changes.

This period marks the initial release of the Itamae configuration management tool, formerly known as Lightchef, establishing its core project structure and DSL. The work involved renaming the library, removing legacy version constants, and publishing the standalone gem with updated dependencies to ensure compatibility with Ruby 4.0.

11 changes.

This period focused on establishing Itamae's core infrastructure by implementing the full suite of system resources and a pluggable event handler system. Significant effort was dedicated to expanding test coverage through comprehensive unit and integration suites, ensuring reliability across local, SSH, and Docker backends. The work also included renaming the project from LightChef and introducing features like custom definitions and Docker image creation.

This entry marks the initial commit and release of Itamae (formerly Lightchef), a simple and lightweight configuration management tool with a Chef-like DSL. The diff establishes the core project structure, including the Rakefile for running unit and integration tests (via Docker and local execution), the .rspec configuration, and the CHANGELOG.md documenting versions from v1.7.0 through v1.15.0. It also updates the README.md to reflect the new name, concept, and installation/usage instructions, and adds .gitignore entries for Vagrant and local Ruby environment files.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

This commit introduces the complete set of infrastructure resources for Itamae, establishing the core DSL for managing system state. It adds base classes and specific implementations for file, directory, execute, package, gem\_package, git, service, user, group, link, http\_request, remote\_file, remote\_directory, template, and local\_ruby\_block resources. The base resource class defines the attribute system, notification/subscription handling, and the execution lifecycle (pre\_action, set\_current\_attributes, run\_action), while individual resources delegate system operations to Specinfra to ensure cross-platform compatibility.

lib/itamae/resource · high confidence

This release introduces the \define\ feature, allowing users to create custom resource-like DSL blocks within recipes, and adds a new \docker\ backend to create Docker images using Itamae recipes. The CLI now supports \itamae init\ and \itamae generate\ commands to scaffold new projects, cookbooks, and roles. Additionally, the \--ohai\ option is deprecated in favor of loading node data via \--node-json\ and \--node-yaml\, and the \--recipe-graph\ option (formerly \--dot\) allows exporting recipe dependencies as a DOT graph. The version is bumped to 1.15.0.

lib/itamae · high confidence

Itamae now supports a pluggable handler system that allows users to process recipe and resource lifecycle events (such as starts, completions, and failures) through different backends. This change introduces a base handler class and three concrete implementations: a Debug handler for logging events to the application logger, a Json handler for appending structured event data to a specified file, and a Fluentd handler for sending events to a Fluentd logging server. Users can now configure these handlers to integrate Itamae's execution data with existing logging and monitoring infrastructure.

lib/itamae/handler · high confidence

The file resource's edit action now works correctly with the Docker backend, resolving a previous limitation where file modifications failed. This change introduces a \receive\_file\ method across the Exec, Docker, and SSH backends, enabling proper file transfer and content retrieval mechanisms required for editing files within containers and remote hosts.

lib/itamae/ext · high confidence

The library has been renamed from Lightchef to Itamae. The main entry point has moved from lib/lightchef.rb to lib/itamae.rb, which now requires the full set of Itamae components (runner, recipe, resource, handler, backend, etc.), while the old lib/lightchef.rb file has been removed.

lib · high confidence

The explicit version constant (0.0.1) previously defined in lib/lightchef/version.rb has been removed. This change eliminates the static version string from the library's codebase, likely shifting version management to an external configuration or build process.

lib/lightchef · medium confidence

The executable entry point in the bin directory has been renamed from 'lightchef' to 'itamae'. This change updates the command-line interface to reflect the project's new name, ensuring that users invoke the tool using the 'itamae' command instead of the previous identifier.

bin · high confidence

Add local integration test runner for \itamae local\ command; Added serverspec integration tests for Itamae resources; Added unit test configuration for Itamae; Added unit tests for Itamae core components; Added unit tests for Itamae resource attribute definitions and execution; Expanded integration test coverage for core resources and features.

The Itamae configuration management tool is now released as a standalone gem with explicit runtime dependencies on Thor (\>= 1.0.0) and Specinfra (\>= 2.81.0, \< 3.0.0), alongside Hashie, ANSI, and Schash. The project has officially renamed from Lightchef, removing the legacy gemspec and updating the Gemfile to include development dependencies like Serverspec (\~\> 2.43) and Docker-api (\~\> 2). Additionally, the Gemfile now includes a workaround for Ruby 4.0 preview versions by explicitly requiring the 'english', 'fileutils', 'find', 'irb', and 'stringio' gems, ensuring compatibility with upcoming Ruby releases.
